Directions and Maps

Flood Runners have three options for participation routes:

The Original Flood Run was down Highway 61 on the Minnesota side.

The Wisconsin side is the most popular side of the river, but if you don't like the traffic when you are coming from the north you can run the Minnesota side down and come back the Wisconsin side... the traffic will be going the other way.

Official Flood Run Merchandise Booth's are located at the start of the run at the Beach Bar, The No~Name Saloon in Prescott, The Nauti Hawg Bar in Diamond Bluff & in Maiden Rock Park. You can purchse Flood Run Benefit Wristbands, official run t-shirts, run hoodies, run hats, run gloves, run bandana's, Flood Run Pins new & old & more!

More details on the routes & the best places to give patronage while participating on the run are listed below!

The Gold Star run works like this: Riders must start from the north end of the run at the Beach Bar & Grill. With your Flood Run Wristband you donate an additional $20 to participate. You can choose to do either the WI or MN route first and return via the other but you MUST have your Flood Run Gold Star card stamped at the 4 Offficial stops from the day: The Beach Bar, Treasure Island Resort and Casino, The Detour Sports Bar in Minnesota City, and Mikes Bay Town Bar & Grill in Bay City. Return the stamped card to Shiners Bar and Grill in Lakeland, MN before closing, (2am) Flood Run evening and we give you a custom Flood Run Gold Star you can only get by partipating in this event! If we run out of Gold Stars we apologize. Simply write your name & address on your stamped card & we will have more Gold Stars made. YOU EARNED IT!!!(Estimated Trip: 4.5 hours, ~ 210 miles)
